If only I can just

Lie down here

And share a pair of earphones with you

While we read and laugh

With our hands barely touching

For the entire afternoon.

We don't even need to do anything

If you don't want to;

As long as we are beside each other,

Knowing that we are thinking about the same thing:

I'm lucky to be here, with you

Too bad this only happens in my dream.

Too bad this has to be a secret forever.

I love you, but it's meant to be a feeling

I have to keep with myself.

...

At least I have my dreams.

Eternal Love

perception

the grey area of my heart seems to be occupied by you, rules never applying and outcomes always uncertain. yet the way I see you is rose-coloured, turning everything I write into lovesick poems and ballads that will always haunt me in days without you.

laodice.

in summer the ghost of the girl who tried so desperately to hang me with her own hair comes to me again, her wrists bound tight - a victorian nightgown, the stretch of the fabric a taste on my teeth i can never forget ( contact allergy: the glue from band-aids sends my skin spitting and hot, the new cells, grown inside as i was, finally brave enough to fight for air ) she blinks her heavy lashes at me and pulls the heat tight around my ribs. they bend like a ship on the shore under the slime of greenrot and time, but they do not break. they are not drowned, not her claim to rebuild with. ( if a ship sinks, and you replace it, is the s

river.flow

we talk in rivers. I have noticed them flow in the midst of our conversations – mine the thames, serpentine slipping as a whisper through the low meadows, quiet and hissing. yours the five rivers of the punjab, vying like brothers in a tumult of froth and noise, wrestling their way through mangrove roots and mazes. the rivers raised us, taught us their ways. somewhere two oceans meet in a place where there is no wind, the doldrums silent and still as two currents cancel out in a moment of collision. as the thames flows into the punjab and halts, so too do we stand together, silent, over-brimming with restrained tidal

Exult

Quick frissons of joy, like a harpist on the planck scale. The sun is out. All has tunneled into green. I am an animal, after all, and so like the lambs in my mother’s field I want to kick up my heels. Spring wilds through me—-my marrow puts forth flowers. Gold and springwater. A little easy dopamine, honey-suckle sweet, and look, God’s got nothing on me.

Conversations

From time to time, you haunt me without announcing, unexpectedly. You cling to me, smother me to make me stay with you, shielded from the world. I sit with you and listen, 'cause you might want to tell me what I neglected. If I don't force you, you will ecentually retrieve until you return for the next chapter.

Literature

Zephyrus

You coax, slowly. Said it's like a bear in hibernation: When my love lies buried under 15 feet of ice. You take the form of spring, And gently warm my frozen limbs. I melt in his arms, crying— "You deserve more summers than this." "But all I want is you," he says. And then my seasons shift.

Literature

Homebody

I let you in: Smiled as you smashed windows; Broke open doors; tore down walls. The echo through the corridors Grew scared, and flew away— But I stayed. And I chose to paint the facing white.

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

Without You

last night without you the world did not end, although every building shook. i'm still picking up loose bricks and bits, cleaning house, mending the yard. even now without you. i feel guilty not inviting you. keeping you in the dark. lying-- or at least omitting truths (joyful truths, to be sure)-- to the face of my old friend. still somehow there was fallout. even the absence of you does some damage. even your shadow shakes tables knocks down a drink or two. and this morning it all felt like a dream. like some quaint, sober nightmare. not completely despairing-- rather nice, to be honest-- but still awful like a knife being removed (at last!) from a wound: you can breathe again, for a minute or so, you think, but now there is a new raw, red horror-- the hot sensation of drowning in your own living blood, suffocating, almost, in your own nourishment, breathless, speechless, as the oxygen betrays you, abandons you suddenly. it's almost enough to ask the nurses to put

leaves know the weight

I sense a leak, something vast and nameless passing too quickly to track. I always pretend to grow darker and more intricate, to become more like conversations that only happen at night in careful whispers, as they plummet into their beds. I've watched countless rooms undress, spidering out of their skins through zippers and seams, faces in the walls with anguished shrieks, yet to become the ache of a chair, the skin of a finger whose voice swells in my head. this time, all of the time, whose voice unwraps my secrets when I'm able to remember the weathered ice of this lake. what I dream, hold and keep, what rasps in the wind, what lingers and touches me through the cracks.

Prayer of the Grey

Lord God I pray Allow my soul to know peace If I died today, I’d only have regrets about my life My whole existence is scarred Charred with the reality thereof So I pray to the skies above Can I get a pardon? I feel like a mortar Set to fall as others live What about my time, Lord Do my tears not scream will I feel like I’m done That I’ve given all I can I’m so tired God Can I have a pillow? Even though I still breathe I feel like I’m on death row My pain being recorded Just to give others energy flow I have scars all over my souls body Tormented and abused Praying to you to cut me loose Reveal to me the truth Praying to you Lord Please Tell me What am I to do? What am I? 10/24/23

National Poetry Writing Month 17/30 !
Inspired by the song "Secretly" by Magic Power. God, I keep getting inspired by Mandarin songs. XD
Here's a segment of lyrics I translated:
"I kiss you secretly in my dream
I wait for you secretly in the future
I can only love you secretly
I'm secretly silently deeply in love with you"
